I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with these medicines and what side effects they noticed.

Dexamethasone injection - could this make the cat act sore more than 48 hours after receiving it?

Clindamycin and prednisone - what side effects have you observed? (Was there loss of appetite, lethargy, spaciness, etc?)

Thanks for any help.....I am worried....

My cat had the following side effects with Prednizone:

1. Violent diarrhea on an hourly basis;
2. Acute distress (calling.)

She had the following effects with antihistamine (prescribed by vet)

1. Drooling
2. Spaced out, uncoordinated, limp.

Please call your vet if your cat is having side effects from medication.

Cats are so good at hiding side effects that if your cat is showing them, you really need to call your vet. He will know the best if its a good idea to keep the cat on the meds.
